MONEY and COMMERCIAL MARKET. CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. Paris papers state that the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on Monday disappointed the expectations of the Pails politicians, who expected that the discussion on the 5 per Cent. question would have commenced on that day, but the absence of the Finance Minister from illness occasioned the sitting to pass over without any reference to the chief topic of interest. The French funds remain much the same as they did yesterday.

Consol s for Account, NV THREE O'CLOCK LIE 'TT CI p --,,ENERAL LORD BLOMFIELD, G.C•B•, kt ;;;,' H.-- WOOLWICH GARRISON.-This gallant and distin- V" ii ed officer, who is senior in rank in the Regiment of Royal bas beim reported to have declined to accept the sbpelluintrnent of Commandant of \Voolwich, which, upon the hit a uthority, has been proved not to be the fact. His Lord- P will certainly enter upon the command in the course of Thaat weeknsion , but there has been sonic difficulty in obtaining a in suit his establishment, the official residence ii• the RoYal Arsenal not offering sufficient accommodation. lac,Lordship was for many years our Ambassador at the Court tieteckbolm, and is very popular with the Regiment of Ar tarerY, having been many years Commandant , of the 3rd Bat aad no; in command, as Colonel en Chef, of the Horse including the Rocket Troop. he Police Gazelle advertises a man named Christ ja Garwood, who attended Rockland ste e p le chase on the 9th a ll s ,i tt " , when a bay mare which he rode galloped off with him, neith er he nor the mare have been sinco heard of. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) The arguments in sins part-hearer winch were ,ea,- menced before the recess, were resumed to-day. The case came before the Court under the following circumstances : A petition had been presented by Mr. Reed Richards, the nephew of Mr. Thomas Richards, an old gentleman, of the age of 71 years, who had acquired a large property in business, and Nsho had long since retired from it, and was now living in Haberdashers'-row, Hoxton, for a Commission of Lunacy against his uncle. A caveat had been put in against the Commission, and the case now came before the Court upon a petition, praying an order of the Court for the attendance of Doctor Southey, upon the supposed lunatic, in order to ascertain what the real state of his mind was. I❑ the affidavit in support of the petition for a Com mission Mr. Thomas Richards was stated to be an imbe cile old man, who was entirely under the controul of Miss Elizabeth Don, into whose name, jointly with that of a Mr. Bartrup, he had transferred stock to the amount of upwards of 90,000/. ; Ise was under the care of Miss Don, and as was al leged by the petitioner, they prevented all accass to him, and refused to admit the physician sent by the petitioner, his nephew and only relation. Mr. ANDERSON, who appeared for the petitioner, was heard on his behalf before the Raster recess. Sir W. HORNE, who opposed the application, and who was only partly heard previous to the Court rising for the holidays, resumed to-day. Mr. Thomas Richards, against whom the application for a Commission was made, was as sound in mind as possible, but was labouring under a disease of the body. As to Miss Don, whom Mr. Richards had adopted, her con duct was unimpeachable ; and all the statements with respect to the unsoundness of Mr. Richards' mind arose from the statements of a discarded servant, those statements being► po sitively contradicted by the broker and medical attendant of Mr. Richards. . . The Learned Counsel had not concluded when our repor ter left. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) :N THE MATTER OF WHISTON.-THE RED MAID'S CHARITY, BRISTOL. His HONOUR, on corning into Court, stated that he had read the petition in this case, the chief object of which was the confirmation of the Master's report, approving of a scheme for the future regulation of the Charity, and it appeared to him that there could be no objection to the confirmation of the Master's report approving of the scheme. The Master, how ever, had taken no notice of one of the facts stated in the pe tition, with respect to the 681. It seemed to his Honour that it would be frivolous to take proceedings in respect of that. He thought, also, that no proceedings should be taken to set aside the sale made by the Corporation of Bristol to the trustees of the Red Maid's Charity ; the better course, in his Lhonour's opinion, being that the trustees should 'all that piece of land with the incomplete works upon it. Then the only other point was with respect to the plan of Mr. Foster for the improvement of the school of the Charity ; and a reference to that, though Mr. Foster had miscalculated the quantity of land required for the play-ground of 112 girls, still with some alteration in that respect, his Honour thought that plan might be adopted. He should therefore make the order, confirming the report of the Master, approving of a scheme ; he would therefore direct that no proceedings should be taken in respect of the 68/., the trustees to be at liberty to sell the land they had purchased from the Corporation of Bristol, to carry into execution the plan of Mr. Foster, and also giving them liberty to treat with the Corporation of Bristol, for the purchase of the reversion or fee of certain land which was held under the Corporation upon lease. The COURT then proceeded with unopposed motions. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This was the general petition day, and the Master of the Rolls took the unopposed petitions first. lIOBSON V. BLACKBURN. The petition in this case was that of the Treasurer of the the Charity School of St. Bride's, Fleet-street ; the Trea surer of the National School of St. Matthew, rixton ; and the Treasurer of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum ; and the peti tion prayed that apportionments in respect to the legacies given by a testator of the name of Blades to these several charities might be paid to the respective treasurers. — Ordered. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) STANFIELD V. TRINITY HOUSE. The ATTORNEY-GINERAL moved in this case, which was tried at Guildhall before Lord Denman, for a rule to show cause why the verdict obtained by the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. Tho parties for whom he appeared, the Learned Gentleman stated, had no personal in terest in the matter, having acted merely in the capacity of trustees ; but they felt bound to resist the claim of the de fendant as unfounded, unjust, and unconscientious, and therefore thought it their duty again to submit the question to their Lordships, and he was much mistaken if the Court would not concur with him in opinion that the verdict ought to be set aside and a new trial granted. It was an action for work and labour done, and the amount for which the verdict had been given was 62/. 63. 2d. The labour done was the removal of a bank or shelf in the river Thames, near the Woolwich Docks, called Cooper's Shelf. His witnesses• were his two sons, Henry and John Stansfield, who proved that two of the elder brothers of the Trinity House came to the office when Stansfield was at Woolwich, and asked him to survey the bank in question, called Cooper's Shelf. That Stansfield accordingly did so, and made a plan of the same, and sent it to the Trinity House. A third witness was called, to show that the demand was a reasonable one for the work and labour in question. The two sons swore that they never heard their father had made an application to the Admiralty to bo paid for this work, although it turned out that he had, and that the application was actually placed in the hands of one of the sons so examined. The defence of those persons for whom he (the Attorney-General) appeared was, that he was at the time in the employment of Govern. ment ; that in doing this work he was acting within the scope of that employment, and that the Trinity House had been acting on behalf of the Admiralty ; that Stansfield had made an application to the Admiralty, and bad actually been paid for doing this very work. The defeedants proved that plain tiff was, and had been for many years, in the employment of the Admiralty ; and plaintiff's receipts , in his own handwrit ing, were produced, to prove the fact of his being so, and in the receipt of a salary for the performance of his duties.— Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY•) Sittings at Nisi Prius. BOYD V. THE LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought against the defendants, for re moving a carriage-way without setting out another, and ob structing a public way, and tried before the Lord Chief Jus tice at the last Assizes at Kingston. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff, the Court reserving the point, whether the ac tion was not barred by the 95th sec. of the Act incorporating the Company (3th Will. 4th), which enacts that " for any thing done under the Act no action could be brought against any person without twenty days notice given." The point reserved leave was given to move to enter a nonsuit, the Learned Judge not deeming it clear, whether the word person was intended in that clause to apply to the Company. Mr. KENNEDY this clay moved for a rule to enter a nonsuit on the point reserved, namely, that the plaintiff had not given twenty days notice. The Learned Gentleman referred to the second section of the Act (the interpretation clause), which extended the ordinary application of words used in the Act, as that words male or female should be understood to apply to either sex, and that words singular should include many persons or things ; the word man should be understood to apply to houses, lands, buildings, as the case might be— ( Laughter)—and lastly, that the words he and she should in clude numbers of persons and Corporations. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—And corporations. You see Mr. Kennedy, if there were no interpretative clause, there would be no difficulty.—(Laughter.) In the 74th clause, you will find the words "persons or corporations" opposed to each other. Mr. KENNEDY referred to other sections of the Act to show that the words person and persons were so used, that they must be understood as applying to corporations. The COURT.—But you must take the whole Act, and make it clear whether the interpretative clause had not the effect of separating the corporation from the word person in the clause for the limitation of action. Mr. KENNEDY then referred to several passages in Black stone and Coke to show that the word person was always un derstood to include corporation; and in fact the present point had been so decided in the case of Fisher v. The Thames Junction Company, in which, as in all recent Railway and Canal Bills, the interpretation and limitation clauses were precisely the same as in this.—(A laugh.) The COURT—They are very extraordinary. Take a rule to show cause. Mr. KINNEDY stated that a point had been raised as to the admission of the Act in evidence, on the ground that it was a private Act. But the last clause made it a public Act, re quiring every Justice to take judicial notice of it. The CocaT--They add that clause now to every private Act. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY ( Sittings in Banco.) MORGAN V. metes. Mr. Loctt moved for a rule nisi to set aside a nonsuit is this case, which had been directed by the Learned Judge who ;resides in the Palace Court. The action was brought to recover the sum of 201. for the board and lodging of the defendant's wife for one year. On the trial it was proved that the defendant was living in adul tery apart from his wife, and that she had been residing with the plaintiff. There was some difficulty in proving the iden tity of the defendant and his wife, and the plaintiff was under the necessity of calling Mr. Cole, the attorney of the defendant, who being examined by the Learned Judge, said he had paid 201. to Mrs. Picks for a separate maintenance, which was secured to her by deed. The Judge then said that that was a defence to the action, and directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited. Mr. Baron BOLLAND—Did you desire the Learned Judge to put it to the Jury whether the maintenance was sufficient ? Mr. Loci—Did not. Out of deference to the Learned Judge, he consented to be nonsuited, having leave to move the Court. The only question which was left to the Jury was, whether the demand was reasonable? and they found that it was a very small one. The COURT were unanimously of opinion that the Rule must he refused, on the ground that the Learned Counsel had not requested to go to the Jury upon the question of the sufficiency tai .n whiob was the only rcal question in the and a sufficient maintenance she had not then the power to pledge the credit of her husband, and therefore as the Counsel had seemingly agreed in the sufficiency of the maintenance in this case, by not requiring the Learned Judge to put the fact to the Jury, he was perfectly right in directing the nonsuit, as it was in evidence that there was a separate maintenance.—Rule refused. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1538. LITERAT URE. THE SOLDIER'S LIBRARY. Cadell, London, 1838. An interesting volume, composed chiefly of extracts from the " Annals of Ancient and Modern Warfare." The preliminary essays, on the subjects of Corporal Punishment and a Retiring Fund, are well entitled to the consideration of the Government. B R ENDA I L A POEM. BY T 110.31.13 BAGLBS. London, Whittaker and Co., 1838. Brendallah is an Oriental Romance, written in the Spenserian measure, and extending over 254 pages of large octavo. 'We pity the author if he found the composition of the first Canto as difficult as we did to get through it. We say nothing of the second and third, for to confess the truth we could not get beyond the first, though we regarded the task in every light that could possibly reconcile us to it—as a pleasure, a pastime, a duty, a penance—but all to no purpose. In justice alike to the author of the Poem and ourselves, we subjoin six stanzas by way of specimen. They commence with the fourth of the first Canto : A Sultan once within this palace dwelt, Elgentha named, and such a man was he Whose heart each warm and kind emotion felt ; From most king's vices he exempt wag, free ; His greatest fault, as thou full soon wilt see Was that depended he too much on those Who had his confidence, and would agree With aught which they propounded. 'Rose Unto their projects wild no drawbacks, no oppose. His heart was mild, susceptible, and kind, Save when disturb'd unto a high degree; His highest wish was great renown to find, And would inflam' d and quickly heated be With any project rare. His Vizir, he, With glorious plans his vision dazzle quite And there were moments when submissively, He would have him obey'd : In such strong light This Vizir with him stood—He thought he aye was right. And even bad he him advised to g• Into some gloomy cell, and Wive his throne, Such brilliant thoughts within his breast did flow In aid of virtue, that he would have flown E'en at hie order, for his merits shone (The Vizir's) to his ardent soul so strong That he had left without a sigh or moan The even flatt'ring, glitt'ring, gawdy throng— Sueh confiience and love had to his bosom sprung. But Oh! alas! the only thing that could Have gi'en duration to these maxims rare The Sultan had not, for kind nature, good Had left his soul of this ingredient bare ; 'Tis firmness which th' esseetial part should bear, And this his soul possess'd not, so that all Brendallah's good advice flew off like air, Or like the rock stream which on sand cloth fall, But gleam'd awhile, then fled—The Vizir's heart was gall. Among the courtiers which assembl'd there, And hover'd round the throne's bright dazz'ling light, Was numbered one Ben Sadi, whom its glare Had there attracted, whose dark soul, as night Was black and gloomy; and the honor-height Of good Brendallah he did envy sore, And with deep artifice and dext'rous sleight Within the Sultan's car did poison pour, And gloss'd his subtile thoughts with winning language o'er. And tho' the Sultan him did not esteem, Yet was his company a source of joy, For all his converse thick with praise did teem, And all his skill in eloquence he'd try To make Elgentha on him cast an eye, An eye of approbation.—He profess'd The Sultan to adore, and with a sign, And hand o'er his sin containing breast, Would sigh as tho' he were with something sore oppress'd.

So far from these great departments of commerce having recruited their strength during the holidays, they have become weaker, and almost every commodity under this denomination may be regarded as on the decline BP. Sugar sells slowly to-day, at prices of a downward tendency. Refined Sugar is quoted at 365. for fine crushed. To.day we had public sales of Mauritius, Bengal, and Havannah Sugar—viz., 7,145 bags of the first, '2,143 of the second, and 1,000 of the third. All did not sell ; and of the prices, all he summed up in a word, that they are declining, and that the present tendency is downwards. Both Mauritius and B. P. Sugar are now full Is. lower than they were last week. Of Coffee we have none in the market. Rice is 6d. lower. Spices much as they were. Cotton is as dull as can well be conceived. Rum is very dull, and 5 per Cent. Demerara in Hogshead has been sold at Os. 4d. and i❑ barrels at 3s. sd. The decline in value of of goods at public sale, reduces the business by private contract to a mere nothing. The imports are rather increasing. The complaints of the dulness of business at this advanced season of the year are very exten sn e, and no immediate prospect of any revival presents itself. 'We have sales of Drugs this evening ; but for to-morrow there is very little Co lonial produce advertised. TEA SALE THIS DAY. About 1,500 chests have passed since yesterday. The importers show great firmness, and but litt:e sells. The attendance is rather slender. Prices just as they were, viz., 2d. to 3d. per lb. lower all round than the prices of last sale, except Boheas, which are rather dearer than last sale. INDIGO SALE (SECOND DAY.) The quarterly sale of Indigo, to which we adverted yesterday, pro. gressed to-day with more spirit, and at better prices. At the conclu. sidn of the sale yesterday, prices of shipping kinds were quoted 4d. to 6d. per lb. under last quotations ; and ordinary and inferior consumers were bought in at 6d. to 9d. per lb. lower than last sale's prices. To. day more sold of all kinds; and prices of all qualities can be quoted at 3d. to 6d. per lb. lower only than those of last sale. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 18. The business transacted this day was of a very limited character, barely 2,000 bags having found purchasers, notwithstanding the rates being fully lower than last quoted;-1,410 Americans, 5i Si ; 300 Surat, 4h 41 ; 100 Pernam,B 9; 30 Egyptian, 9i ; 100 Bahia, 7f 8; 60 Maranliam, 81.—Total, 2,000.

THE WEATHER.—For the last week we have had a return of Mr. Murphy's bad weather—bitter cold nights, and dark snowy days. We suppose it will so continue till the re-assembling of Parliament ; or, if Mr. Murphy be correct, till the coronation. _ BIGAMY.-At the I - lull Quarter Sessions, on Friday, Martha Norton was put upon her trial on a charge of bigamy, in having married Martin Charlesworth and the late James Brown, her real husband, John Norton, being then alive. The prisoner, who bore a good character as an honest and respectable woman, was married to the prosecutor in the year 1819, and three days afterwards he deserted her. She remained single for eight years and a half, for a considerable time making every inquiry after her husband, of whom she could gain no tidings. Flaying received from Brown an eli gible offer of marriage, she informed him of her situation with respect to her former husband, whom she concluded to be dead, when they consulted the Clerg}man by whom she was afterwards married to the deceased, who told her that her hus band having been absent for more than seven years, without her being able to obtain any tidings of him, sho could marry ag ain without committing any legal offence. The second husband died in 1835, when, after being eighteen months SI widow, she accepted an offer of marriage from Charlesworth , to whom she was united at the parish church at Hull. A!)out four months since, in passing along the sir; et, her first hus band, Norton, recognised her, and, having tcund out her r esidence, as well as the above circumstances, ins ituted th is prosecution. The Learned Recorder, in summit g up the case, put it to the Jury whether the prisoner had m t acted as she had in the full conviction of her husband's death, and if they believed that, after due diligence, she had been unable to obtain tidings of his being still a li ve , th e y must acquit her. The Jury immediately brought in a verdict of Not Guilty.— '' Hull Paper. EVENTS AT GOTTINGEN, IN NO- VEMBER and DECEMBER, 1337. (BY ONE OF THE PARTIES.) It is not the province of history to sit in judgment upon the occurrences of the past ; its office is truly to represent the developement and the connexion of events as they hap pened, and this true account proves, in most cases, the se verest judgment, as the attempt to pervert the opinion of posterity by deceptive appearances and artful misrepresen tations has never yet succeeded. Our own days will also, and perhaps sooner than other past times, be weighed ; truth will be male known ; the connexion of events will be understood ; and in the events themselves - their judgment will be found. We might quietly await this judgment, and the wonder ful change which the course of events will produce in pub lic opinion concerning those circumstances of which we have been eye-witnesses. It may, however, be useful to give our contemporaries at once a correct account—at least of the principal and most important circumstances, particularly as many incorrect, deficient, and even false rumours have been spread abroad, and great difficulties are opposed to a knowledge of the truth. It seems worth while to give an: account of those circum stances which we know to be true. We may err in trifles, but for the truth of the principalevents e will be answerable. It is not our intention to trace the course of events, the very last of which we have to deal with, to their first be ginning. We will say but little of the condition of Hanover under the reign of the late King, which condition, though it might not be called perfect (and what country's condition can be called perfect ?), was yet happy, and satisfac tory. The claims of the present and the institutions of the past were respected in the gradual development of new organisations ; reciprocal confidence between the King and the people, and a desire for intellectual and moral improvement prevailed. There existed, it is true, some few discontented persons ; Ministers were accused of weakness and want of activity ; several demands were made in the Chambers which were refused by the Crown ; several new laws were objected to. A few took the part of the working classes ; but the oppo sition of those who relied on the old privileges and the in fluence of the Nobility, and who strove to .resist every at tempt to infringe them, was most violent. There is not another part of Germany in which the Nobility maintains such great and long-standing privileges; and these are rarely united to personal efficiency. Superior mental culti vation was wanting in the upper classes, and the few who formed in this an honourable exception might easily be named. Indeed what they did not possess, they appeared to despise, or rather to hate. It is said that in one of the sittings of the Chamber the hope was expressed that " a time would soon return when, not knowledge, which every one might acquire, but name and family would be the sole passports to office." The watchword of the Opposition was " The rights of the Nobility, as in the olden time—and even more con tempt of the middle ranks and of their road to distinction, m ental cultivation, and knowledge." It is well known that the leaders of this party, excluded from the offices of Government during the late reign, looked forward to the present one with hope, and did not hesitate to express these hopes even before the time. The news of the King's illness came ; the country mourned, but the Tories of Hanover gained courage, and prepared for coming events. The King died, and the whole existing state of things was threatened. In the first sittings of the Chambers the determined opposition of Herr von Scheele to the address to the Viceroy, the Duke of Cambridge, created a sad presentiment of the things that were to come. Herr von Scheele became a Cabinet Minister without taking the oath to the Constitution. The first patent of the sth of June appeared, and a boundless sea of fear lay before us ; yet there remained one chance of avoiding the conflict. The peaceful development of our energies was interrupted, the quiet of the country disturbed—but still other advantages might be obtained ; at least we might hope forjustice and prudence from our rulers. They themselves seemed for a moment doubtful ; they were but few ; no one joined them ; powerful voices were heard from all sides de manding protection for the law of the land and the Consti tution. But Government proceeded. After a long period of uncertainty the royal patent was signed on the Ist and published on the 4th of November ; it annihilated the Constitution of 1833, abolished the oath, demanded quiet submission, and threatened severe punishment for every opposition. The judgment men passed on this Act need not be con cealed. With the exception of a few, who were guided by passion or self-interest—all to whom justice and the Con stitution were dear and well known—all who had hitherto taken a part in the public business, were hurt, shocked, and revolted, and looked forward with the most mournful expectations. On the part of the Crown the worst had been done : we were silent for the moment, but we did not believe that we were deprived of all the means properly belonging to us for defending the Constitution. The ques tion was, how were we to use these means? Every attempt at actual resistance against our hereditary Sovereign was deprecated ; indeed, open resistance ought never to be de signed ; only the excess of oppression can bring it forth; even then no one should defend it. It is an evil created and employed by necessity, which runs its fearful course like a dreadful disease, which, when surmounted, renovates the Constitution. But to remonstrate appeared lawful to every one. The Constitution was a compact between the King and the people, established by the former, by the advice and with the assent of the latter ; all were bound by th e ir oath to maintain it—no one believed himself re leased from this obligation—it only remained doubtful in what words to protest. Great confidence was placed in Ministers : they had founded and sworn to the Constitu tion—they had governed according to its principles—they had th e mselves declared that any violation of the Consti tution would cause them to resign. They did not resign now, and this blow was felt almost as severely as the patent itself ; at least a part of the responsibility for what followed falls h a ck upon them ; and the circumstance of each being confined to the duties of his own department cannot free them from that responsibility. These circumstances being discussed and considered all over the country, they could not fail to engross the atten tion of all in Gottingen. The teachers of law and politics the Chambers, were dissolved ; those who felt themselves loudly called upon to treat these important subjects with firmness and decision. The legitimate organs of the trieletoP"bPele'called together according to the new order of things were not to be recognised as legal ; every one who adhered to the Constitution must, if in tending to be consistent, decline to take a part in the elections. There remained, indeed, but one means of escape from the existing entanglements—the inter ference of the German Diet. But from this interference a favourable result could only be expected if the opinion of the country, of the Corporations, of persons in office, and oflight-thinking people in general, were made known to that body. Even as far as the King himself wasconcerned, people, abroad where n o thi ng b ut tier might give rise to most newspapers the expressionri o v f e o mi u l it p n i g n b in e o b nwt deceiveda s b n o m f b g ba r ys e t a i ite t am: and howeveroonamceeeernontnni.nrecept ions, g tsT th hoe e f festive process ions and solemn erroneo us opinions. My !pons were prevented from lrsieutal pee countryoosuiit:accounts woef ch speaking their mind s b y the fear of losing their offices, and their salaries : s uch fears were less known in Gottingen than re tl k ie noanwn, any where else. The University united the first talents of the country ; it possessed some of the most distinguished men of Germany. They might well be considered as called upon to set an example to others, and to speak first on a subject which interested all, but on which the greater number did not v enture to express their opinion. To this may be added their position as teachers. The late events had made no trifling impression upon the academic youths. To guide them iu 1 eg , , ,1 ways of remonstrance was the duty of the teachers ; but in that case they must first act themselves, in the way that conscience and conviction pointed out. Those amongst the Professors, therefore, who had been long personally ac quainted, and who possessed most courage, united to take the first public step. The following declaration was drawn up on the 17th of November, and signed and despatched on the following day. [The declaration here alluded to, is that which appeared in our paper of last November 30th.] We all know that those who signed this declaration are me" of whom none ever laid themselves open to the least suspicion of modern Liberalism. They are distinguished by great learning, a knowledge of history, a strong feeling of justice, and great conscientiousness. Dahlmann alone among them has had a political career. He has given suf ficient evidence of his principles, by his actirity as secre tary to the Holstein Nobility (Holsteinische Rittersehaft), by his co - operation in the drawing up of the Constitution, and in the debates of the Second Chamber, and, lastly, by Ids lectures. He demands a constitutional existence, founded upon justice and history (and even the latest times belong to history), contra-distinguished from tyranny and indivi dual despotism. He has shown that he is by no means in clined to give way to the demands of democrats, or to the deceptive principle of the rights of the people ; it is calumny to connect him with those who wish to agitate and to shake the foundations of society. The declaration was sent to the Curatorium in Hanover, to be presented to the King. At the same time several of those who h a d s i gne d i t h a d sen t c opies to friends , n ot meaning to make any secret of what they had done. With incredible rapidity several hundred copies were distributed at Gottingen, and in all parts of the country. It was in serted, at the same time, in several German newspapers. It made a deep impression everywhere, and was for many days the sole subject of conversation. Many were excited, and participated in the opinions expressed in the declaration ; some praised the step unconditionally ; others admired, but feared the consequences. The declaration had not, how- ever, reached the King. The Curatorium, ignorant of the wide circulation that the declaration had obtained, replied to the Professors that it honoured the free expression of their opinion and conviction, but put it to them more maturely to consider the importance of the step, and to retract it. But the affair had become known ; those who had acted were not at all inclined to retract, and, besides, there came a number of answers. There appeared in the Hanover Zeitung an article (not official), which intelligent persons attribute to Herr von Leist, in which the step taken by the Professors was blamed loudly and bitterly, and they were even threatened with punishment. An insinuation that the seven Professors had been in communication with French journals, and had sent their pro test to them earlier than to Hanover, embittered their feel ings more than all, for it need scarcely be observed that there was no truth in it ; the protest not having appeared in any French journal till a later period. It is, however, quite possible that some hint of the intentions of the seven Professors may have reached others. The plan was in agitation for some days previous to its execution, when, instead of Ewald and Gervinus, two other Professors had proposed joining their colleagues. Of these circumstances the friends of Government did not hesitate to avail them selves, for the most hateful purposes. The King himself is said to have alluded to them. At the same time, whether accidentally or intentionally, the King went to Rotten-kirchen, within a short dis tance of Gottingen ; and an order was sent to the academic body, as well as to the Magistrates of the town, there to wait upon his Majesty. The Rector, and the faur Deans of Faculty, went and had an audience. What happened there and then it is difficult to say with certainty ; but we were told that they had been instantly required to sign a posi tive declaration of their opinion, of which a third essay only met with the approbation of the Cabinet. They also addressed the King in person : what they said, as well as the declaration of the head of the magistrates, which agreed with it in most points, was sent from the house of Herr von Scheele to the Hanover Zeitung, and was inserted after a previous article had mentioned that the University bad addressed the King. In consequence of this, Dahlmann and Albrecht, as Members of the Senate, declared pub licly that no address to the King had been agreed to by that body. The printed speeches caused a general dis satisfaction in Gottingen. The Pro-Rector, Hofrath Berg mann, into whose mouth words had been put which he could not acknowledge as his, sent an account of what he had really said to the Members of the Senate : and also to the Curatorium of the University, earnestly requesting the latter to make the truth as public as possible. This re quest was civilly but firmly denied ; they feared to make known the lies of the Zeitung. An open declaration by Hofrath Bergmann was much wished for. He felt his honour wounded :he was grieved and depressed, but came to no decision ; to which, perhaps, his peculiar situation as Pro-Rector may have contributed. The other friends of the Seven were, however, deter mined to ward off from themselves the suspicion of having participated in the opinions expressed in the printed speeches, and of being desirous of separating their cause from that of their seven friends ; and their declaration to that purpose, which was inserted in several German journals, was firm and decided. In the meantime the Seven had been criminally charged with quickly publishing their protest. Dahlmann, Grimm and Gervinus, when they appeared before the University Court, declared unhesitatingly that they bad communicated copies of the protest to their friends ; that they were quite prepared to bear the consequences ; and had been indeed previously determined, under existing circumstances, and under the present Government, not to remain any longer in Gottingen. This report reached the King. He dismissed the seven Professors from their offices without trial or sentence ; and by the arbitrary power of the Cabinet, Dahlmann, Grimm, and Gervinus were banished from the country. This judgment they learnt from reading the Zeitung, for the latter part of the sentence was not mentioned in the communication of the King ; but the Rector was desired to make known to the three above named, that the inquiry into the publi cation of the protest would be continued with all possible severity if they did not leave the country within three days. A second communication said they were to leave the country within three days, or they would be sent to another place in the kingdom, and the inquiry there be continued. It seems Government were afraid of stating the whole truth, and wanted to make it appear as if the Professors feared an inquiry, and left the country from a knowledge of their guilt. But they declared they only gave way to power and reserved their defence. This answer was not even mentioned in the Zeitung. It may be considered natural that a journal should take the part of the Government, but Government should above all adhere to truth, while in the present case there had appeared more than one glaring deception. The voice of esteem and admiration was heard generally in Germany towards those whom the will of the King had now dismissed. Some cities sent addresses to them ; of the existence of others they became aware only through the press, because the post-office of Hanover had found means to prevent many of these from reaching the Professors. All honoured their fidelity, their firm conscientiousness, and disinterested self-devotion to duty and to the welfare of the country. In Hanover itself many would fain have given similar proofs of approbation, but they dared not. At that time the act of allegiance occupied all minds; many doubted whether duty or conscience permitted the taking of the oath ; that it might be refused no one doubted ; that it was indispensible to deny it could scarcely be asserted ; and thus the greater number resolved to lay aside their doubts and hesitations, and to take the oath. Several cor porations, however, reserved their rights by adding pro testations. But it is well known what really was the opinion of the country, notwithstanding the taking of the oath, and not withstanding the splendid accounts which appeared in the papers of processions, the attendance at which had been secured in many places by threatening those who did not attend with fines. Indeed this spirit of disaffection was known and feared, and a knowledge of it was carefully prevented from extending beyond the kingdom. In the country itself the authorities were strictly enjoined to for bear expressing any opinion on political subjects, and to demand the same from all their underlings—they were even desired to report concerning the opinion of individuals. A secret police was talked of, and servants were said to have been employed to learn the opinions of their masters Certain it is that Government communicated with persons marked by the contempt of all their fellow citizens What a change from uur former condition—when every one said what lie thought without fear or controul, and when no punishment awaited a mere expression of opinion ! The severest blow was struck at Gottingen. The loss of the seven Professors threatened the whole University with ruin. It was well known how generally beloved and respected they were ; how great a part of the prosperity of the University was owing to them ; how every one felt for them, and was agitated by the late events. Government resolved, for the purpose of preserving the peace, which seemed threatened, to show its power. Con siderable divisions of military marched towards the town. Colonel Wyneken was named conimmander, and arrived on the spot. On Thursday, Dec. 14, the seven Profes sors were made acquainted with their dismissal, and the three above mentioned also with their sentence of banish ment. " Rather banished than perjured," was the short answer of Grimm. Within an hour from that time Dahl mann and .Grimm communicated the same to their hearers. The former addressing the students, thanked them for the love they had hitherto shown him, and earnestly intreated them to continue showing it for the short period of his stay, by continuing quiet, and by respecting the laws. The news spread like lightning through the town all were astonished, horror struck, and deeply affected—but not the slightest disturbance occurred. The commanding officer had laid his instructions before the m agistrates, making them aware that he would go any and all lengths, eves to the destruction by fire of the whole city, on the slightest attempt at insurrection. All the troops between Gottingen and the town of Hanover were under his command, and stood ready to march. The great firmness of the Professors contributed mate rially towards the maintaining at least external peace. Many vivats were, however, given by the students, and y.hr , n these were forbidden, several of the young men were imprisoned for disobedience. Similar scenes were acted next day, when a number of students, who had been cheer ing some of the Professors and hooting others, were re peatedly ordered to go home by the military. No resis tance was made ; but the satirical observation of one of the students about the Lieutenant's horse roused his anger, and caused him to give the command to charge ; one of the young men received a severe wound on the head, and several others were more slightly injured. What ever may have been the orders given to the officer in command, in this case decency seems to have been overstepped. The citizens are said to have lodged a complaint against the officer ; but the students were more particularly offended, and left the town in a body. About five hundred were assembled on the Hainberg. They consulted, but adopted no resolutions, and an attendance at Lectures was not even thought of. The departure of the three Professors was fixed for Sun day. They had intended to go by• Munden to Cassel, but they were ordered to proceed to the frontier by the nearest road, and they had, therefore, to go to Witzenhausen. The general wish of the stn tents was to accompany them ,thither, and to prevent this, all persons were forbidden under heavy penalties to give them any vehicles or horses `for hire. Saturday had passed in anxious fear—all minds were agitated, the streets full of military, and the Profes sors not allowed to show themselves without a ,quard. In the evening the students again left the town, and then re• solved at once to precede the Professors to Witzenhauzen, i and there to take solemn leave of them. Without ;.gain entering the town, and without any obstacle, this gre; mass reached Witzenhausen, where the Town House wa3 given up to them for the night, and every thing was done to secure them the neccsswy enmr.rt. At two o'clock in the morning a detachment of Cuirassiers appelred on the frontier ; but fortunately the students had been ochre-hand with them. Even now it was attempted to defeat their oh. ject, and the Professors were desired to go by Mundell to Cassel. But this they refused, and on Sunday morning, at nine o'clock, they left Gottingen. accompanied for some dis tance by their colleagues and friends. In the town reigned a deep silence, all mourned, and it seemed as if the glory and the prosperity of Gottingen were departing with them. On their arrival, the. assembled students met them ; poems, garlands, and the most, heartfelt good wishes, loudly ex pressed, gave evi(!eace of their admiration, and of their grief. The horses were taken from the carriage, and the students drew it quickly to the entrance of the hotel, into which they accompanied their beloved and admired teachers. Until then they had all remained firm ; but nose emotion almost unmanned them. Gervinus said a few words, too deeply agitated to say more. Dahlmann said—" At this mo ment I feel deeply how much of my happiness I leave be hind in Gottingen, yet I go not forsaken as so much love goes with me. Nor have I given up the hope that at no very distant period it may be acknowledged, and even by our present opponents, that those arc not the worst servants of a State who maintain that oaths ought to he unbroken and faithfully maintained." Grimm said—" My dear friends ! You look forward to perfect purity in all the relations of your future life ! Your notions of right are unperverted : retain these attributes of youth, even in your old age, and • you will end your lives in peace. Forget me not." Thus parted the teachers from their pupils whom they had guided with enthusiastic eagerness into the paths of science, and to whom they had given an example of useful ness and firmness of character, which will bear fruit for future times. Several of the remaining Professors, who felt them selves qualified for making their way even in a strange coun try, resolved to leave that fatherland which could bear such doings. The confidence in the existing order of things was shaken in all. Punishment had been awarded where no crime had been committed. Even the last days of the de parted had been disturbed by paltry interference, and they were persecuted beyond the kingdom of Hanover. Dahlmann and Gervinus were ordered to leave Cassel at, the request of the Hanoverian Government, and the Prince had promised in a desPatch sent to Hanover that they should not be allowed to remain even a single night. I❑ Leipsic, on the contrary, where Dahlmann went after wards, and where he .applied for permission to reside, the King sent him an anew e. through the Chancellor of the University—" That he (the King) was much pleased with his having sought a refuge in his dominions, and that he was fully convinced Dahlmann would never cause or wish to cause any disturbance." Thus they thought i❑ Saxony, and some short time afterwards the Prussian Government debated the question whether it might be advisable to in vite the seven Professors to Berlin. Thus science was honoured, while the promises made to replace these men in Gottingen by far more celebrated men must of necessity remain unfulfilled, as; under present circumstances, no German gentleman will choose to be the successor of the lismissed Professors. For some days great anxiety continued to prevaiLin Got tingen, and a few lectures were arranged with much trouble. The teachers themselves felt neither courage nor spirit to continue their round of duties. Several of the superior men resolved to leave, at least at the end of the half year, a country where events occurred which reminded them of the worst times of foreign tyranny, in which school many of our statesmen seem to have been successfully taught. .Gottingen, which, during the reign of our late Monarch, flourished to a greater degree than before; where the most efficient men meted in happy union ; where the _ _ celebration of the jubilee had but just filled every body with the most joyful hopes ; and where the nun - 16er of stu dents had progressively increased every term—Gottingen was now deprived of its splendour. The city was cut short of its trade, the inhabitants of their earnings, and the youths of the country of their alma mater ; science emi grated, unaccustomed to submit to oppression and tyranny. And this was the very thing those persons wished, who saw men arise from this school possessed of talent and know ledge to fit them for the great offices of the State ; while they respected, and knew how to value nothing but a strong will, and high sounding names. The expressed wish of tho aristocracy which we have quoted above may be fulfilled, though at the time it appeared to us a folly, but to which all seems now to tend. First—the Constitution Was de- stroycd ; now, the source of civilization and of knowledge for the whole kingdom i 3 interrupted—wait for the things that are to come, and we fear a future in which every step will find an example in the last. THEATRES. HAYMARKET. The Love Chace was repeated at this theatre last night for the second time this season, and gave Misa Elphinstone another opportunity of appearing in the part of Constance. Her per formance was, if possible, an improvement on that of Monday, and for this reason that she felt more at home in the character. Iler confidence was re-assured by the hearty applause of the audience, and though her style of acting is different fromthat of Mrs. Nesbitt, yet she appears to have looked more deeply into the real character of Constance than her lovely predecessor. When a fine actress appears in a new character and plays it sue c ,2ssfully, she may be said to make the part her own; it W2S thus with Mrs. Nesbitt, whose fascination captivated all beholders —and it is no slight praise to Miss Elphinstone to be able to steal in upon our associations, and, without violence to our prejudices, make herself heartily welcome. To achieve this is confessedly the most difficult as well as most hazardous un dertaking. There is merit in the very daring—and none but a lady of sterling genius, fully relying on the impulses of her own heart, would risk all by making the attempt. It is made—and made successfully. If we occasionally missed the racketty joyousness of Mrs. Nesbitt, we were amply com pensated by the arch-vivacity and shressdness of Miss Elphin stone, who realised more of the poet's genuine creation than her fair rival. Mrs. Nesbitt's acting skimmed surface of the character with an elastic buoyancy ; but Miss Elphinstone sounded its depths also, and thereby gave a bolder relief by contrast. The audience seemed to have felt this, and adpreciated it accordingly. SURREY. This favourite place of amusement during the short time it hag been closed, has been tastefully decorated in a nautical style, for which the artist deserves great praise. The ceiling represents nautical designs, emblematical of England's naval heroes, Nelson, Howe, Duncan, &c. The most beautiful additions arc to the front of the boxes, which are divided into beautiful marine vignettes. The entertainments of the even ing commenced with a nautical drama, called Admiral Ben bow ; or, the Earthquake of Jamaica ; which has been got up with great taste aad spirit. It was well supported by the excellent performance of Messrs. Dale, Penner, D. Pitt, Heslop, Saville, and M. W. Smith. Between the first and second piece we were much pleased with the extraordinary performance of Monsieur Plege and his son on the tight-rope. The second piece, entitled Black Friday ; or, the Natal .Star, founded on an Eastern romance, is as full of bustle, dancing, singing, and fighting, as any lover of these amusements could wish. The house was crammed to the ceiling, and the audience, judging from their applause, were much delighted., Owing to an oversight this notice was omitted on Tuesday. A floating pier, - projecting only a short distance into the river, has been lately formed on the north-east side of Waterloo-bridge, in front of the public plying-place, for the embarking and landing of passengers by the steamers ; and the proprietors of two elegant and fast steam-boats, the Eagle and the Falcon, have availed themselves of it, to run their vessels from that place to Gravesend, and with much succees, great numbers of people having availed themselves of the a c commodation, instead of being put to the inconvenience of peoceeding from the west end through the city to London b:idge wharf. Some persons, however, have complained of the pier at. Waterloo-bridge as a nuisance, and the City Solicitor has forwarded a notice to the nroprietors (ten poor watermen, plying at Waterloo-bridge), directing its removal. It will scarcely be believed that the Hunger ferd Market Company have a floating pier, extending one third across the river, which really is a nuisance, and has been long suffered to exist by the conservators of the river, without any complaint being made : and, more over, there are several other floating piers above bridge, belonging to the London and Westminster Steam-boat Company, and formed where they aee more leconvenieet than at Waterloo-bridge. which have beet, for some time allowed to remain, and where passengers area constantly embarking and disembarking. It is a curious fact, that directly after the small floating pier was fermed at the Somerset House corner of Waterloo-bridge. the Hungerford Market Company, through their clerk, Mr. Leith, endeavoured to obtain permission to run out a pier from the causeway at the end of Arundel-street, to which the watermen plying there would not consent. Directly aftewards a complaint was lodged against the Waterloo-bridge pier as a nuisance, and its removal is or dered by the City sol'eitor, although nuisances of a much worse description (if any of those piers can be so denomioated), and which unquestionably are a glee ter ob stracf.on to the navigation, have been allowed to remain by the City authorities.
